[Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request for the Waiver of Roadway Impact Fees in Accordance with the Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Impact Fee Waiver Program for a Proposed Multi-Family Development (Remnant at Greenwood II) Located on the Northwest Corner of Drexel Street and Throckmorton Street and Southwest Corner of Drexel Street and Throckmorton Place]

WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD EMPOWERMENT ZONE IMPACT FEE WAIVER PROGRAM FOR A PROPOSED MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT REMNANT AT GREENWOOD TWO, LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF DREXEL STREET AND THROCKMORTON STREET AND SOUTHWEST CORNER OF DREXEL STREET AND THROCKMORTON PLACE.

GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS KASEY BUMGARNER.

I'M THE PLANNING MANAGER FOR DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AND PRESERVATION, AND I'LL BE GIVING A BRIEF PRESENTATION ON THIS REQUEST.

JUST FOR SOME BACKGROUND. THE PROGRAM BEGAN IN 2009.

IT'S TO SUPPORT INFILL IN THE TOWN CENTER AREA, AND THEN WAS EXPANDED INTO THE AREA THAT YOU SEE ON THE MAP IN 2013.

MULTIFAMILY PROJECTS SUCH AS REMNANT TWO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR ROADWAY IMPACT FEE WAIVERS UNDER THIS PROGRAM.

TYPICALLY, ALL OF THESE IMPACT FEE WAIVERS ACTUALLY GO THROUGH STAFF APPROVAL.

HOWEVER, IF THEY'RE MULTI-FAMILY OR OVER 50,000, THEY COME BEFORE CITY COUNCIL FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL.

SO JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS PROJECT. AS A NOTE, THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE A PRESENTATION FOLLOWING MINE, BUT THERE ARE 50 RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN THIS PROJECT THAT ARE SPREAD ACROSS FOUR DIFFERENT RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS.

AND THIS IS FOR THE MCKINNEY HOUSING AUTHORITY.

THERE ARE FIVE DIFFERENT BUILDING TYPES BECAUSE THAT INCLUDES THE CLUBHOUSE AS WELL.

THE PROJECT, I THINK YOU HAD PREVIOUSLY STATED, IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF DREXEL STREET AND THROCKMORTON STREET, IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF DREXEL STREET AND THROCKMORTON PLACE.

AND THEN THIS IS THE SITE PLAN FOR MULTIFAMILY PROJECTS TO RECEIVE ANY PROJECT PROGRAM IMPACT FEE WAIVERS.

THE DESIGN AND COMPLETION OF THE NEW CONSTRUCTION HAS TO BE GENERALLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE MASSING, SIZE, SCALE, AND ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES OF THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.

ELIGIBILITY, IN PART, SHALL BE DETERMINED BY REVIEWING THE PROJECT AGAINST THE GUIDELINES FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION IN THE NEC,

[00:40:04]

WHICH IS FOUND IN APPENDIX B OF SECTION 98, DASH 85 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES.

THE NEXT FEW SLIDES, I'M JUST GOING TO SHOW YOU THE ELEVATIONS.

AS THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER, I HAVE APPROVED OR I HAVE REVIEWED THE PROJECT AGAINST THE DESIGN GUIDELINES, AND I'M COMFORTABLE THAT IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THESE ASPECTS SUCH AS MASSING, SIZE, SCALE, AND ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES. AND LIKE I SAID, I'M JUST GOING THROUGH THE ELEVATIONS.

THE STAFF REPORT DOES GO INTO DETAIL ON EACH ONE OF THESE.

AND THEN, JUST AS A BRIEF OVERVIEW, THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD IS A MIX OF SINGLE FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY, WHICH ARE RANGING FROM ONE STORY TO THREE STORY BUILDINGS.

APPROVAL OF THE IMPACT FEE WAIVER WILL RESULT IN FORGONE ROADWAY IMPACT FEE REVENUES OF $129,250.

STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ROADWAY IMPACT FEE WAIVER REQUEST.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. THANK YOU.

I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. AND IS THE APPLICANT HERE AS WELL TO YES THE PRESENTATION.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL AS THE APPLICANT IS COMING FORWARD.

THANK YOU CASSIE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MR. SANCHEZ.

HELLO. MARTIN SANCHEZ, 210 ADRIATIC PARKWAY, MCKINNEY, TEXAS, 75072.

AND I'M VERY PROUD TO BE THE FIRST NON CITY EMPLOYEE TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING.

BRAND NEW FACILITY. AND IT IS APROPOS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS IN THIS WONDERFUL FACILITY AT THIS TIME.

ALL OF YOU KNOW ABOUT THESE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR A WHILE.

AND ALL JESTING ASIDE, WHAT I'M REALLY PROUD OF IS THAT THESE TWO REPRESENT THE LAST OF THE OLD HOUSING STOCK IN MCKINNEY HOUSING AUTHORITY, AND THAT IS A TESTAMENT TO YOUR LEADERSHIP, TO THE COMMUNITY.

THE FOCUS WE'VE STARTED, WE'VE BEEN ON THIS PROGRAM OF REVAMPING THOSE DEVELOPMENTS FOR QUITE SOME TIME, AND IT'S FINALLY COMING TO FRUITION. SO WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THAT.

SO WITH THAT, I THINK STAFF DID A FANTASTIC JOB WITH GOING THROUGH THIS.

AND NOW IF I CAN REMEMBER HOW TO WORK THIS THING.

SO THROCKMORTON AGAIN, YOU KNOW IT AS LLOYD OWNS IT GOT REBRANDED TO GREENWOOD AT REMNANT TWO AND I APOLOGIZE.

THAT'S AS A REMNANT ONE. SO LET ME GO TO THAT ONE.

ADD IT ALL TOGETHER. GENERALLY SPEAKING, WE TOOK APPROXIMATELY 26 DWELLING UNITS THAT WERE THERE, AND WE ARE ADDING WE'RE REPLACING IT WITH 50 DWELLING UNITS.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE ELEVATION IN THE PREVIOUS ITEM, THERE IS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO BUILD.

THE SITE HAS GONE THROUGH DRAMATIC CHANGES. WE HAD TO BASICALLY DEMO FROM THE INSIDE OUT BECAUSE OF ASBESTOS AND A LOT OF OTHER THINGS. AND WHEN YOU'RE REDEVELOPING SITE AND GOING THROUGH THE DEMOLITION, IT'S KIND OF TRICKY. SO WE'VE GOTTEN THROUGH THAT PHASE AND I THINK THINGS WILL BE PROGRESSING QUITE QUICKLY FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.

I CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS ON THE SITE, PLAN OR ANYTHING ELSE.

GENERALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO POINT THIS OUT BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IT'S REALLY THE GIST OF WHY WE'RE HERE.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES OR THE GOVERNMENTAL LOAD, AS I CALL IT, OF WHAT WE PAY IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT FEES TO THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, IT'S PRETTY STARK. IT'S A BIG IT'S A BIG NUMBER AND IT'S NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN.

THOSE ARE THE POLICIES THAT ARE IN PLACE. BUT ROADWAY IMPACT FEES ABOUT 129,000.

WATER AND WASTEWATER, ROUGHLY ANOTHER 140,000 PARKLAND DEDICATION.

SO EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS ALREADY DEVELOPED, THE WAY THE ORDINANCE READS, WE'RE HAVING TO BASICALLY ADD MORE MONEY TO THE PARKLAND DEDICATION ACCOUNT, IF YOU WOULD AS WELL. AND THEN ULTIMATELY ENGINEERING INSPECTION FEES AND BUILDING FEES ON THIS PROJECT ALONE.

THREE QUARTERS OF $1 MILLION FOR AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY, WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY.

THERE IS A PROVISION THAT THAT WE FOUND WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE DETAILED DEVELOPMENT OF THIS IN APPENDIX A OF CHAPTER 2.1 B THAT'S IN ITALICS THERE.

THAT ALLOWS US TO ALSO WAIVE ENGINEERING INSPECTION FEES IF, HOWEVER, IT MEETS THE CRITERIA.

NOW WHEN I READ THIS OF COURSE I SAID WOO HOO.

THERE WE GO. WE CAN ACTUALLY APPLY THIS AS WELL.

THE INTERPRETATION HOWEVER, HAS BEEN THAT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR SINGLE FAMILY ONLY.

EVEN THOUGH I WOULD TELL YOU AS THE OLD POLICY GUY FOR THE CITY, THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT WHAT IT SAYS, BUT IT'S WORTH IT FOR ME TO BRING IT UP FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER AS WELL.

SO REALLY WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS THE WAIVER OF THE ROADWAY IMPACT FEES.

BUT AS YOU AS YOU LOOK AT THAT, PLEASE SEE IT IN CONTEXT AS WELL AS WITH ALL THE OTHER FEES THAT WE PAY AND AS AS AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND

[00:45:10]

AFFORDABILITY IN GENERAL CONTINUES TO BE A GROWING CONCERN, NOT ONLY IN THIS COMMUNITY BUT ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

I JUST WANTED TO BRING ALL THAT UP TO YOUR ATTENTION FOR YOU TO REVIEW, BECAUSE I KNOW WE DON'T TALK ABOUT SOME OF THIS STUFF AT TIMES.

I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT COUNCIL MAY HAVE.

AND MR. PHILLIPS, COUNCILMAN PHILLIPS, I THINK YOU SHOULD SAY TO ME, TOO, THAT YOU'RE GLAD THAT I'M THE ONE THAT WAS HERE FIRST.

YEAH, I'M GOING TO SAY IT. IT'S FIRST. FORMER CITY.

I APPRECIATE IT. OKAY. HEY, MARTIN. THANKS FOR DOING THIS.

I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN JUST SUCH A HEAVY LIFT, AND I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

NUMBER ONE ON THE PARKLAND DEDICATION. IS THAT ADDITIONAL MONEY BECAUSE OF ADDITIONAL DENSITY, YOU SAID. SO IT IS FOR ADDITIONAL DENSITY THEN? OKAY. FUNDAMENTALLY, YES. BECAUSE WE WENT FROM 26 TO 50 UNITS.

IT TRIGGERS THAT BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE ORDINANCE IS WRITTEN.

RIGHT. WE CAN HAVE AND I GET THAT, I GET THAT.

I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF SURPRISES ME. BUT I SHOULD HAVE SAW THAT COMING.

YEAH. AND AS FAR AS THE ENGINEERING FEES, I WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER THAT.

WOULD YOU HAVE AN OBJECTION COMING BACK BEFORE US AGAIN ON THAT ONE, SO WE CAN HAVE STAFF REVIEW IT AND CHEW ON IT A LITTLE BIT? SURE. I'D COME BACK ON EVERY ONE OF THEM. OKAY.

OKAY, BUT BUT NO, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE HERE.

AND AND I'M, YOU KNOW, VERY IN FAVOR OF WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY, SO THANK YOU, SIR.

THE AFFORDABILITY. PARDON ME? AFFORDABILITY ASPECTS.

YES, SIR. SO IF YOU RECALL, THIS WAS A COMBINATION OF BOTH THE LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT AS WELL AS THE RAD PROGRAM TO ALLOW US TO RELOCATE THE RESIDENTS WHILE WE GO THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT CYCLE, AND THEN WE WILL TRY TO REPATRIATE THOSE SAME RESIDENTS THAT WERE THERE IN AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.

THE AFFORDABILITY TARGETS WILL RANGE FROM 40%, MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME UP TO 80%, MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME, AND IT VARIES IN THERE. THAT'S WHY IT WAS SO CRITICAL FOR US TO ADD MORE UNITS, BECAUSE OF THE UTTER DEMAND THAT IS NEEDED AT THESE LEVELS OF OF INCOMES. I DO RECALL THAT, BUT I DIDN'T THINK THESE FOLKS KNEW IT.

SO THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM. JUST TO CLARIFY ON THE PARKLAND DEDICATION, THAT'S THE ALLOCATION FOR THE FULL 50 UNITS.

WE DON'T DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE 24 ADDITIONAL UNITS.

NO, SIR. SO IT GETS KIND OF TRICKY IN THEORY.

THE ORIGINAL 26 ARE DISCOUNTED AS IF THEY WERE A PARKLAND DEDICATION ORDINANCE IN THE 1940S WHEN THIS WAS STILL DEVELOPED.

RIGHT. BUT THERE WASN'T A PARKLAND DEDICATION.

SO THE PARKLAND DEDICATION FEE THAT'S HITTING US NOW IS THE DELTA BETWEEN THE 26TH AND THE 50, IN ADDITION TO THE FEE. RIGHT. THE NEW FEE THAT'S ADDED TO PARKLAND.

AND UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE ALSO WE ARE IN POST WHEN THE ORDINANCE WAS UPDATED, WE'RE AT THE ONE FOR 33 AND NOT THE ONE PER 50.

SO IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A LOT, BUT WHEN YOU ADD IT ALL UP, IT BECOMES SIGNIFICANT PRETTY QUICK.

AND THAT'S WHY ULTIMATELY THESE ARE YOUR DOLLARS.

THAT RIGHT, THAT WE'RE ALL SPENDING TOGETHER.

I WANTED YOU TO HAVE THE THE ABILITY TO SEE IT ALL TOGETHER.

ON THE PARKLAND DEDICATION PORTION. ISN'T THERE A 50% DISCOUNT TO AFFORDABLE PROJECTS? I MEAN, THERE WAS SOME IN THE DEDICATION AND THERE WAS A WAIVER OF THE FEE, I BELIEVE.

SO IF THAT'S THE CASE, SIR, WE HAVEN'T BEEN. WE HAVEN'T.

IT'S NOT REFLECTED IN THIS NUMBER. OKAY. AND I CHOSE MY WORDS VERY CAREFULLY, SIR.

OKAY. SANCHEZ. THIS IS NUMBER THREE FOR YOU. REBUILDING LOW INCOME PROJECTS HERE IN MCKINNEY.

CORRECT? YES, SIR. I JUST WANTED EVERYBODY TO RECOGNIZE WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR THE CITIZENS OF MCKINNEY.

AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK YOU'VE DONE FOR US.

YEAH. MUCH MORE ESTHETICALLY PLEASING PRODUCT TO LOOK AT THERE.

SO WE APPRECIATE THE EFFORT THERE. YES, MA'AM.

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME CLARIFICATION ON THAT PARKLAND DEDICATION AND WHETHER OR NOT THERE SHOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL DISCOUNT.

SO WE'LL HAVE STAFF KIND OF DIG INTO THOSE NUMBERS. BUT SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ROADWAY IMPACT FEES, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD. DO I HAVE A MOTION? IS THIS A PUBLIC HEARING, MADAM? THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING. THEN I WILL MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THIS ITEM AS APPLIED FOR.

CAN WE DO THAT CONDITIONALLY ON THE REVIEW OF THE PARKLAND DEDICATION? NO, SIR. I'M JUST MOVING ON THE ROADWAY IMPACT FEES, AND WE'LL BRING THAT UP AS A SEPARATE ITEM AT ANOTHER TIME IF HE WANTS TO.

THANK YOU. I'LL MAKE. I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION.

OKAY. CAST YOUR VOTES. CAN YOU GO AHEAD AND HIT THAT? SORRY. ALL RIGHT. NOW WE CAN CAST OUR VOTES HERE.

ALL RIGHT. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO A VERY SIMILAR PROJECT TO ITEM 252527.

[Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request for the Waiver of Roadway Impact Fees in Accordance with the Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Impact Fee Waiver Program for a Proposed Multi-Family Development (Remnant at Greenwood I) Located on the South Side of Fitzhugh Street and on the East and West Sides of South Murray Street]

CONSIDER, DISCUSS, ACT ON A REQUEST FOR THE WAIVER OF ROADWAY.

[00:50:03]

ROADWAY IMPACT FEES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD EMPOWERMENT ZONE IMPACT FEE WAIVER PROGRAM FOR A PROPOSED MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT REMNANT AT GREENWOOD ONE, LOCATED ON SOUTH SIDE OF OF FITZHUGH STREET AND ON THE EAST AND WEST SIDES OF SOUTH MURRAY STREET.

CASSIE. THANK YOU. OKAY, WE'LL GO THROUGH THIS ONE PRETTY QUICKLY.

OH. OKAY. SO THIS IS AGAIN THIS THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD EMPOWERMENT ZONE PROGRAM.

AND THEY ARE REQUESTING FEE WAIVERS FOR ROADWAY IMPACT FEES.

REMNANT ONE IS 46 RESIDENTIAL UNIT PROJECT THAT SPREAD ACROSS 12 DIFFERENT RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS.

IT AGAIN IS FOR MCKINNEY HOUSING AUTHORITY. THERE ARE FIVE DIFFERENT BUILDING TYPES.

AND THEN IT IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF FITZHUGH STREET AND ON THE EAST AND WEST SIDES OF SOUTH MURRAY STREET.

AND AGAIN, STAFF DOES REVIEW THESE PROJECTS FREQUENTLY.

HOWEVER, IF IT'S OVER 50,000 OR A MULTIFAMILY PROJECT THAT COMES BEFORE CITY COUNCIL FOR REVIEW.

AND THEN I WILL BE SHOWING THE ELEVATIONS THE SAME AS I DID FOR THE LAST PROJECT.

AS THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER, I REVIEWED THE PROJECT AGAINST THE DESIGN GUIDELINES AND AM COMFORTABLE THAT IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THE SIZING, MASSING, SCALE, AND ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES OF THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND IN THE STAFF REPORT IS A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ALL OF THOSE.

AND THEN THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD IS MOSTLY ONE STORY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

APPROVAL OF THIS IMPACT FEE WAIVER WILL RESULT IN FORGONE ROADWAY IMPACT FEE REVENUES OF $118,910.

STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANKS, CASSIE. ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? DOES THE APPLICANT HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD? DO WE HAVE A SEPARATE PRESENTATION ON THIS ONE.

I WON'T. BELABOR IT TOO MUCH. MAYOR PRO TEM. YES, THIS IS COCKRELL. SO THIS WENT FROM 24 UNITS TO 46 UNITS.

THIS IS MORE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD TYPE SETTING, WHICH IS VASTLY DIFFERENT.

SO THE ARCHITECTURE IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S MORE BUNGALOW STYLE LOWER IN TERMS OF INTENSITY.

SO YOU COULD FIT A LITTLE BIT BETTER. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT WE WERE ABLE TO USE A LOT OF THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE, AND SO WE WERE JUST AS CREATIVE IN ORDER TO KEEP COSTS UNDER CONTROL AND BASICALLY USE THE THE EXISTING FOOTPRINT IN STREETS.

ULTIMATELY SPEAKING, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE, AGAIN, THE SAME CONVERSATION ON THIS PARTICULAR COMMUNITY AND THIS DEVELOPMENT, WE'RE PAYING OVER $1 MILLION IN FULL FEES, AND IT RANGES FROM ROADWAY IMPACT FEES OF 118,000 TO WASTEWATER 181, WASTEWATER IMPACT FEES ONE, 64, ETC. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT AND AGAIN, THE $14,000 OF THE ENGINEERING FEES THAT I WOULD LOVE TO INTERPRET THAT I THAT MY INTERPRETATION IS CORRECT, BUT BUT ULTIMATELY THAT'S JUST A CITY ITEM.

SO WITH THAT I WOULD ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. MAYOR PRO TEM, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MADAM MAYOR PRO TEM, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THIS ITEM AS PRESENTED.

I'LL SECOND. ALL RIGHT. CAST YOUR VOTES.

ALL RIGHT. MOTION PASSES. ALL RIGHT. NEXT ITEM, ITEM 2401032.

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request to Rezone the Subject Property from “PD” - Planned Development District to “PD” - Planned Development District, Generally to Allow Detached Accessory Structures and to Modify the Development Standards, Located at 2041 Redbud Boulevard, and Accompanying Ordinance]

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER, DISCUSS.

ACT ON A REQUEST TO REZONE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

GENERALLY TO ALLOW DETACHED ACCESSORY STRUCTURES AND TO MODIFY THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

LOCATED AT 241 REDBUD BOULEVARD AND ACCOMPANYING ORDINANCE.

THANK YOU, MAYOR, MAYOR PRO TEM FELTZ AND CITY COUNCIL JENNIFER ARNOLD, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING.

I'M GOING TO GET USED TO THE NEW VIEW HERE. Y'ALL ARE WIDER NOW.

AS YOU READ, THIS IS A REQUEST TO REZONE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY TO ALLOW FOR SOME ACCESSORY STRUCTURES.

THIS IS A DRONE DELIVERY APPARATUS THAT'S GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE EXISTING WALMART OVER ON REDBUD.

THERE WE GO. SO WITH THE REZONING, IT IS REZONING ALL OF THE EXISTING ENTITLEMENTS THAT ARE IN PLACE FOR THE EXISTING WALMART,

[00:55:07]

BUT THEN ADDING IN SOME ADDITIONAL ALLOWANCES FOR THE DRONE DELIVERY TO OCCUR AS THE ANNOTATION TURNED ON.

EMPRESS. AWESOME. THANK YOU. RIGHT HERE ALONG THIS SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

AS YOU ALL MAY RECALL, WE RECENTLY AMENDED OUR UNITED, OUR UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE TO ALLOW FOR DRONE DELIVERY.

THEY ARE COMING FORWARD WITH SOME SLIGHT TWEAKS FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY, GIVEN THE UNIQUE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THIS PROPERTY.

IT IS ONE OF THE ONLY LEED WALMARTS THAT WE HAVE.

IT IS MORE UNIQUE IN DESIGN. WE DID FEEL LIKE SOME OF THE CHANGES THEY WERE PROPOSING FOR THE DRONE DELIVERY HERE MADE SENSE.

WITH THE PROPOSED ZONING. THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A TIED DOWN LAYOUT, SO WE KNOW THIS IS EXACTLY HOW THEY INTEND ON BUILDING THOSE DRONE DELIVERIES.

THEY ARE USING THE EXISTING TREES, AND THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF A LANDSCAPE AND BUFFER FROM THE ROADWAY TO WHERE THEY'RE PROPOSING TO BUILD THE DRONE DELIVERY PADS.

THOSE WOULD ALL STAY IN PLACE. IF ANY OF THOSE TREES WERE REMOVED, THEY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED TO ALLOW FOR THAT NATURAL BUFFER FROM THE ROADWAY.

SO WITH THAT, STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE REQUEST.

WE THINK IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT ON THE EXISTING WALMART SITE.

WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION'S ALSO RECOMMENDING APPROVAL.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE HERE THAT'S GOT A PRESENTATION AS WELL.

OKAY. IF THE APPLICANT IS HERE AND WANTS TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE.

RYAN TRIMBLE ON BEHALF OF WALMART. WE ARE SO EXCITED TO BE A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY AND REALLY THRILLED THAT WE CHOSE MCKINNEY TO BE PART OF THE FIRST WAVE OF CITIES THAT GOT DRONE DELIVERY. YOU MAY BE ASKING WHY DRONE DELIVERY IS SO IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT.

LET ME TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT GIRL SCOUT COOKIES.

I'M A FATHER OF A GIRL SCOUT, AN EIGHT YEAR OLD GIRL SCOUT.

IT IS MERCIFULLY THE END OF GIRL SCOUT COOKIE SEASON.

WE SOLD OVER 400 BOXES. BUT IF YOU NEED SOME, PLEASE SEE ME AFTERWARDS.

WE STILL HAVE FOUR BOXES LEFT. YES. BUT WE WERE OUT SELLING THIS WEEKEND, AND MY WIFE WAS TELLING MY DAUGHTER ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS A GIRL SCOUT, I WOULD HAVE TO GO DOOR TO DOOR AND I WOULD HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, GET THEIR ORDER, TAKE IT BACK AND WAIT SIX WEEKS FOR THE COOKIES TO COME IN.

AND IT WAS A REALLY NICE, NOSTALGIC MOMENT. BUT AT THE END OF IT, MY DAUGHTER SAID, WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD ANYONE WAIT SIX WEEKS FOR THEIR COOKIES? AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT SPEAKS TO THE SENTIMENT OF OF CUSTOMERS TODAY.

THEY WANT THEIR PRODUCTS. THEY WANT IT NOW. AND THIS IS A REALLY COOL WAY TO GET IT TO THEM.

YOU TAKE CARS OFF THE ROAD YOU GET IT TO THEM FAST AND IT'S REALLY UNIQUE.

AND WE'RE EXCITED TO BE A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY AND PROVIDE IT TO YOUR RESIDENTS.

WE HAVE CAROLYN FROM KIMLEY-HORN HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL.

STEPHANIE COOK, SUPER KNOWLEDGEABLE, THOUGHTFUL PARTNER FROM ZIPLINE.

SO I WILL LET HER SPEAK IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ACTUAL DRONE DELIVERY SERVICE, BUT HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.

GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBER AND CITY. SORRY, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

YEAH. ZIPLINE. I'M HERE. STEPHANIE COOK FROM ZIPLINE TONIGHT, AND WE HAVE A PRESENTATION.

I HAVE A FEW SLIDES TO PRESENT, BUT I CAN ALSO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, SO LET ME KNOW.

I KNOW WE HAVE A TIGHT AGENDA, SO I WANT TO BE CONSIDERATE OF EVERYBODY'S TIME.

I'D LOVE TO SEE YOUR PRESENTATION. ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT.

IS THIS CLICKER GOING TO WORK? LET'S SEE. OH, AMAZING.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY, SO I'M HERE TONIGHT ON BEHALF OF ZIPLINE.

AND REALLY, I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT DRONE DELIVERY AND TELL YOU THAT IT'S SOMETHING TYPICALLY, I THINK PEOPLE HEAR ABOUT DRONE DELIVERY AND THEY THINK IT'S SOMETHING OF THE FUTURE. WELL, IT'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY IN HEADLINES AROUND DFW, AND WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO SEE HERE IN MCKINNEY VERY SOON. SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ZIPLINE.

WE ARE THE WORLD'S LARGEST DRONE DELIVERY COMPANY TO DATE.

WE'VE ACTUALLY DONE MORE THAN NOW, 1.3 MILLION COMMERCIAL DRONE DELIVERIES AROUND THE WORLD.

SOMEWHERE AROUND THE WORLD, EVERY DAY SOMEBODY IS GETTING A DELIVERY ABOUT ONCE A MINUTE.

WE LIKE TO SAY OUR BACKGROUND IS IN SAVING LIVES.

WE STARTED DOING DELIVERIES IN RWANDA IN 2016.

AT THAT TIME, WE WERE SOLVING SOME REALLY TOUGH USE CASES.

WE FOUND OUT THAT WOMEN WERE LOSING THEIR LIVES EVERY DAY IN HOSPITALS DUE TO LACK OF ACCESS TO BLOOD.

SO WE SET OUT TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM AND HAD TREMENDOUS SUCCESS.

A RECENT STUDY BY THE WHARTON SHOWED THAT WE REDUCED WOMEN'S IN-HOSPITAL MATERNITY DEATHS BY MORE THAN 51%.

WE THEN TOOK THAT SUCCESS AND EXPANDED ACROSS BOTH IN VOLUME AND GEOGRAPHICALLY.

SO WE NOW DELIVER ANYTHING FROM FOOD TO RETAIL ITEMS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.

AND PRETTY MUCH 80% OF THE ITEMS THAT YOU CAN FIND AT A WALMART.

WE ARE HEADQUARTERED IN THE BAY AREA, SAN FRANCISCO, BUT WE HAVE A HUB THAT WE'VE JUST OPENED UP IN DFW.

[01:00:02]

AND AS RYAN MENTIONED, OUR ANCHOR PARTNER IS WALMART.

WE HAVE A PILOT GOING WITH THEM IN PEA RIDGE, ARKANSAS RIGHT NOW, AND WE'RE COMING TO DFW TO LAUNCH AT SCALE.

SO REALLY EXCITED TO BE PRESENTING TO YOU ALL TONIGHT.

SO WHY DRONE DELIVERY? WHY DO WE THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT? WELL, RYAN SPOKE ABOUT THE GIRL SCOUT COOKIES, AND SIMILAR TO THAT, ANOTHER CRAZY STATISTIC IS THAT THIS YEAR ALONE, THERE WILL BE 5 BILLION INSTANT DELIVERIES FROM ON DEMAND APPS IN THE US.

AND ALL OF THAT RELIES ON ROADS AND INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S HUNDREDS OF YEARS OLD AND DOESN'T ACCOUNT FOR THAT KIND OF DEMAND.

SO THAT'S WHY WE INVENTED PLATFORM TWO. PLATFORM TWO IS HERE TO DELIVER ITEMS VERY QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY.

OUR DRONES DON'T GET STUCK IN TRAFFIC. WE TAKE CARS OFF THE ROAD.

WE'RE ALSO REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE USE CASE OF ELDERLY FOLKS, OR PEOPLE WHO MIGHT NOT HAVE CARS OR MOBILITY ISSUES AND CAN GET THE DELIVERIES IN UNDER 30 MINUTES DOOR TO DOOR. WE SIMPLY, TO PUT IT KIND OF FRANKLY, WE JUST DON'T THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO HAVE PRIVATE TAXIS FOR ROTISSERIE CHICKENS.

SO I'LL SPEAK TO IN A MINUTE KIND OF WHAT FITS INSIDE OUR DROID.

BUT FIRST, I WANT TO SHOW YOU A QUICK VIDEO OF WHAT THE DELIVERY PROCESS LOOKS LIKE. LET'S SEE IF THIS WORKS.

OKAY, IT'S NOT WORKING, SO I'LL JUST TALK IT THROUGH IN A SLIDE.

SO KIND OF FROM BEGINNING TO END, OUR INFRASTRUCTURE IS LOCATED AT THE WALMART LOCATION, SO THAT'S WHERE PACKAGES ARE LOADED.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE LOADED FROM TOWERS, WHICH WE CALL DOCKING STATIONS ON THE SITE PLAN THAT YOU ALL WOULD HAVE SEEN.

THERE'S TWO LOADING STATIONS AND NINE CHARGING STATIONS.

SO THE DROID IS OUR SMALLER DRONE, AND THAT GETS LOADED INTO A LARGER DRONE, WHICH IS CALLED A ZIP.

AND THOSE TWO KIND OF KIND OF PIECED TOGETHER, AND THEY TAKE OFF FROM THE WALMART LOCATION AND GO DIRECTLY TO 300FT IN THE SKY.

THEY'LL STAY AT THAT 300FT ELEVATION AT ALL TIMES DURING THE FLIGHT AND DELIVERY.

AND THEN WHEN THE ZIP GETS TO ITS DELIVERY LOCATION, THE DROID GETS LOWERED DOWN ON A TETHER AND PLACES THE PACKAGE AT A LOCATION OF THE CUSTOMER'S CHOOSING. AT THAT POINT, THE ZIP WILL RETURN AT THAT 300FT ELEVATION BACK TO THE WALMART, WHERE IT WILL DOCK AND GET READY FOR ANOTHER DELIVERY.

SO JUST AGAIN, TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THE ZIP AND JOY ARE KIND OF ATTACHED ON A TETHER, THAT TWO PART ARCHITECTURE SYSTEM ALLOWS THE LARGER DRONE TO STAY HIGH UP IN THE SKY, AND THEN THE SMALLER DRONE COMES DOWN TO MAKE THAT DELIVERY THAT ALLOWS US TO HAVE A REALLY HYPER PRECISE SYSTEM.

SO CUSTOMERS, WHEN THEY PLACE THEIR DELIVERY, CAN PICK FRONT YARD, BACK YARD WITHIN A THREE FOOT RADIUS.

SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. IN TERMS OF PAYLOAD, WE CAN CARRY UP TO 8 POUNDS.

AND I'LL SPEAK TO KIND OF WHAT EXACTLY THAT MEANS IN A SECOND HERE.

WE'LL BE DELIVERING LIKELY INITIALLY FROM ABOUT A TWO MILE RADIUS FROM THE WALMART.

AND WE'RE HOPING TO EXPAND EVENTUALLY AS WE GET APPROVALS WITH THE FAA.

AND WE ALSO BUILD UP OUR CUSTOMER BASES UP TO A TEN MILE RADIUS, AND WE CAN COMPLETE THAT TEN MILE RADIUS DELIVERY IN UNDER TEN MINUTES, WHICH IS ABOUT TEN TIMES FASTER THAN A CAR. SO WHAT FITS INSIDE THE DROID? WE LIKE TO CALL IT CUTE, BUT IT'S ALSO MIGHTY.

IT'S ABOUT THE SIZE OF A SMALL COOLER. IT CAN FIT 24 DONUTS, 12 EIGHT INCH SANDWICHES, DINNER FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY, OR 8 POUNDS OF BEEF BRISKET. THAT'S ENOUGH FOR A GOOD BARBECUE.

SO WHAT WE LIKE TO SAY IS THAT WE'RE NOT REPLACING PEOPLE'S WEEKLY GROCERY SHOP.

IT'S REALLY KIND OF TOP UP ITEMS. MOM'S AT HOME AND REALIZES SHE FORGOT ONE ITEM TO COOK DINNER.

INSTEAD OF THROWING THE KIDS IN THE TRUCK AND DRIVING TO WALMART. IT CAN BE ORDERED AND DELIVERED IN UNDER 30 MINUTES.

SO BEFORE I MOVE FORWARDS, I WANT TO ADDRESS KIND OF THREE OF THE MAIN CONCERNS THAT WE GET WHEN WE PRESENT OUR TECHNOLOGY.

AND THAT IS ON SOUND PRIVACY AND SAFETY. SO STARTING WITH SOUND.

FOR MANY YEARS WE'VE HAD SOME OF THE SMARTEST ENGINEERS DESIGNING A SYSTEM THAT KIND OF BLENDS NATURALLY INTO THE BACKGROUND OF OUR EVERYDAY LIVES.

SO STARTING WITH THE DESIGN OF THE SYSTEM, AS I MENTIONED, KIND OF THE TWO PART ARCHITECTURE THAT ALLOWS THE LARGER DRONE TO STAY FAR AWAY, 300FT UP IN THE SKY, WHICH DURING A DELIVERY IT MEANS IT'S KIND OF ALMOST BARELY VISIBLE.

AND THEN SECONDLY, WE'VE ALSO ENGINEERED THE PROPELLERS TO CREATE A SOUND THAT IS VERY APPEALING TO LISTEN TO.

THAT'S MORE LIKE A FAN. SO IT'S NOT ONLY THE INTENSITY, BUT ALSO THE PROFILE OF THAT SOUND MIMICKED OFF OF REALLY A FAN TO SOUND MORE APPEALING.

AND THEN LASTLY, WE RANDOMIZE OUR FLIGHT PATTERNS. SO WE'RE NOT KIND OF CREATING REPEATED SOUND EXPOSURE OVER THE SAME NEIGHBORHOODS.

ALL OF THAT TO SAY, IF YOU LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS, WHETHER WE'RE DOCKING OR DELIVERING, WE'RE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 53 TO 64DB, WHICH PUTS US IN THE BRACKET OF THE REFRIGERATOR NEXT DOOR AND CAR TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 300FT.

SO THAT REALLY ALLOWS US TO BLEND IN INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO TALKING ABOUT SAFELY. SO WE'VE FLOWN OVER 90 MILLION MILES SAFELY.

AND THAT IS THANKS TO THE WAY THAT WE'VE DESIGNED OUR SYSTEM.

WE HAVE REDUNDANCY IN ALL OF OUR CRITICAL SYSTEMS. SO IF ONE PROPELLER WERE TO FAIL, THERE'S ANOTHER ONE AS BACKUP.

WE ALSO TEST RIGOROUSLY IN ALL KINDS OF CONDITIONS.

WE WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH THE FAA AND WE ALSO HAVE FLIGHT IQ, WHICH IS OUR AUTONOMY AND PERCEPTION SUITE.

AND THAT REALLY ALLOWS US TO MAKE FLIGHTS AND DELIVERIES SMARTLY AND SAFELY.

SO THAT ALLOWS US TO HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF NOT ONLY THE AIRSPACE, BUT ALSO THE GROUND SPACE WHERE WE DELIVER. SO DURING A DELIVERY, THE DROID CAN DETECT IF THERE'S A TREE, AN ITEM IN THE WAY OR EVEN A DOG, AND IT WILL BE ABLE TO STOP AND THEN MAKE SURE THE AREA IS SAFE BEFORE MAKING THAT

[01:05:04]

DELIVERY. WE ALSO FOLLOW INDUSTRY STANDARD PROCESSES WHERE WE BLUR PEOPLE'S FACES IN VISUAL DATA, WE CAN'T ZOOM, THERE'S NO LIVE RECORDING, AND WE DON'T IDENTIFY INDIVIDUALS OR READ LICENSE PLATES.

SO FINALLY, TOUCHING ON INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH IS THE COMPONENT THAT'S BEING APPROVED TONIGHT AT THE WALMART LOCATION, AS I MENTIONED, THERE'S GOING TO BE TWO SINGLE DOCKS AND THEN NINE DOUBLE DOCKS.

AND THAT WILL ALLOW US TO DELIVER FROM THAT WALMART LOCATION.

SO THIS IS KIND OF WHAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE LOOKS LIKE. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, BEFORE WE BEFORE WE LAUNCH IN A COMMUNITY, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT FOLKS ARE NOT SEEING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN IT'S INSTALLED. SO THAT'S WHY WE TAKE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT REALLY SERIOUSLY. WE HAVE A LOCAL TEAM THAT'S BASED HERE. WE DO A LOT OF OUTREACH AT SCHOOLS, LOCAL EVENTS.

YOU MIGHT BE TRYING TO READ THE QUOTE THAT'S ON THE SCREEN. IT SAYS, THANK YOU FOR COMING IN. I LIKE HOW YOU'RE NOT JUST TRYING TO CHANGE THE WORLD, BUT ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING TO CHANGE THE WORLD. AND SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO BE INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION TO PURSUE CAREERS IN STEM AND TECHNOLOGY.

AND WE ALSO HAVE AN EMAIL ADDRESS AND I'M AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO.

EMPRESS IS GOING TO CIRCLE BACK TO SEE IF WE CAN GET THAT VIDEO TO PLAY, JUST SO EVERYONE CAN SEE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.

WE'LL SEE IF THAT'LL WORK FOR US HERE. MAY I ASK A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS WHILE WE'RE WAITING? YEAH. OH, HERE WE GO. OH, HERE IT IS. ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS ACTUALLY A PILOT IN ARKANSAS.

PEA RIDGE LIVE FOOTAGE. NOT LIVE FOOTAGE, BUT ACTUAL FOOTAGE.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE PACKAGE GETS LOADED BY AN ASSOCIATE, AND IT WILL GET PLACED INSIDE OF A DROID.

THE DROID THEN GETS LOADED UP INTO THAT LARGER ZIP, AND THE ZIP TAKES OFF IN A C-SHAPED PATTERN SO IT DOESN'T FLY OVER THE PARKING LOT.

IT GOES STRAIGHT UP TO 300FT. IT THEN STAYS AT THAT ELEVATION AT ALL TIMES, AND THE DROID MAGICALLY COMES DOWN ON A TETHER AT THE LOCATION OF CHOOSING OF A CUSTOMER AND MAKES THE DELIVERY. SO THIS WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF OUR FIRST DELIVERIES, FILMED AT ONE OF OUR CUSTOMER SITES IN ARKANSAS.

IT WILL THEN PLACE THE PACKAGE, AND THEN THE DROID QUICKLY RETRACTS BACK UP TO THE ZIP, AND THE ZIP THEN RETURNS BACK TO THE LOADING THE DOCKING LOCATION AT THE WALMART. HOW MANY DOCKING LOOK STATIONS WILL YOU HAVE AT THIS SITE? YEAH. SO THEY WILL BE TWO. LOADING. LOADING DOCKS AND THEN NINE DOUBLE DOCK, NINE DOUBLE CHARGING DOCKS.

OKAY. AND ABOUT HOW HIGH. SO THE THE SINGLE DOCKS ABOUT 20.

YEAH. THANK YOU. SLIDE 16. THANK YOU. YEAH. SO THE SINGLE DOCKS ABOUT 22FT TALL.

AND THEN THE DOUBLE DOCKS ARE ABOUT 28FT TALL.

OKAY. ARE THESE. I'M SORRY. ARE THESE DRONES AFFECTED BY WEATHER? GOOD QUESTION. BY BIRD STRIKES. BY I MEAN, DO THEY AVOID ALL THAT? GOOD QUESTION. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO WEATHER FROM THAT SIDE WOULD TESTING IN ALL SORTS OF CONDITIONS.

WE HAVE A RANCH OUT IN WYOMING WHERE WE'RE TESTING IN SOME REALLY COLD WEATHER RIGHT NOW. SO WE'RE PREPARED TO DEAL WITH VERY COLD WEATHER, PRECIPITATION, STRONG WINDS. THEY OBVIOUSLY WILL BE CONDITIONS WHERE WE DON'T FLY.

WE HAVE A REMOTE OPERATION CONTROL CENTER THAT WILL BE MONITORING THE FLEET 24 OVER SEVEN.

SO IF THERE IS PARTICULARLY SEVERE WEATHER, THEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO RESTRICT OPERATIONS.

BUT FOR THE MOST PART, OUR ZIPS CAN ACTUALLY FLY IN PRETTY MUCH CONDITIONS, AS THAT WOULD BE SIMILAR TO THAT YOU'D BE ABLE TO DRIVE IN.

SO WE'RE ABLE TO HANDLE A LOT OF DIFFERENT WEATHER CONDITIONS IN TERMS OF BIRD STRIKES.

YOU KNOW, TO DATE, AS WE'VE DONE MORE THAN 1.3 MILLION DELIVERIES AND THAT HAS NOT BEEN AN ISSUE.

OUR ZIPS DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO DETECT AND AVOID ITEMS, OTHER AIRCRAFT AND OTHER ITEMS IN OR KIND OF OBSTACLES IN THE SKY THANKS TO OUR FLIGHT IQ SOFTWARE AS WELL. OKAY. HOW MANY OF THESE PER DAY DO YOU THINK WE MIGHT SEE? YEAH. GOOD QUESTION. I MEAN, I THINK INITIALLY THE VOLUME IS GOING TO BE PRETTY LOW.

WE'RE GOING TO START OFF DOING PROBABLY A FEW DELIVERIES A DAY AND THEN RAMP UP FROM THERE. I DON'T KNOW, RYAN, IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THE NUMBER OF DELIVERIES. YEAH, IT'S GOING TO REALLY KIND OF GROW AS THE DEMAND INCREASES AS WELL.

OKAY. THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE.

AND I KNOW YOU GUYS WILL WORK WITH STAFF, BUT, YOU KNOW, THE PUBLIC EDUCATION WOULD BE THE BEST PART OF THIS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE CALLING IN WITH, YOU KNOW, COMPLAINTS OF UFOS.

RIGHT. FOR SURE. AND IN ORDER FOR US TO BE SUCCESSFUL, WE NEED WE WANT PEOPLE TO LOVE OUR SYSTEM, TO BE EXCITED TO RECEIVE IT, TO BE ACCEPTED IN THE COMMUNITY. SO THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

THANK YOU. NOW, I KNOW THIS IS NOT A A ITEM TO APPROVE DRONES.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ACTUAL SITE. SO THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM.

IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? COME ON UP.

IF YOU CAN COME UP AND STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE. AGAIN, SIR, I. DIDN'T EXPECT TO SEE THIS.

MY NAME IS KEN FREDO. I LIVE AT 4207 ENGLISH IVY DRIVE HERE IN MCKINNEY.

I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 1996. ARE ALL THE MEMBERS ARE AWARE OF THE AIRPORT EXPANSION THAT'S TAKING PLACE WITH COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS? BECAUSE 300FT WHEN BASICALLY REDBUD AND MOST OF THE CITY IS GOING TO BE IN A HOLDING PATTERN WHEN THOSE AIRLINERS COME IN, THERE'S THREE MAJOR AIRLINES THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMING INTO MCKINNEY, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE HAPPENING, I BELIEVE BY THE END OF 26, 300FT. WELL, WHAT'S TO STOP THE DRONE FROM GOING HIGHER THAN 300FT?

[01:10:11]

AND ANYWAY, THAT'S THE ONLY THING I WANT TO SAY.

I'VE SEEN CONGESTION. I USED TO LIVE IN LOS ANGELES.

I WAS IN THE NAVY OUT THERE. AND I'VE SEEN THE HOLDING PATTERNS AROUND CITIES AND WHAT TAKES PLACE.

AND USUALLY THIS TYPE OF DRONE FEATURE LIKE YOU'VE SEEN IN THE VIDEOS HERE, TAKE PLACE IN RURAL AREAS WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE THAT ABUNDANCE OF TRAFFIC.

THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? I WANT TO SAY, AND FORGIVE ME, COUNCILMAN PHILLIPS, I THINK YOU MAYBE HAD A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT OR.

NO, NOT A GENERAL QUESTION. AND I APPRECIATE THE MAYOR, IF Y'ALL DON'T MIND ME ASKING, BUT I WAS KIND OF CONCERNED WHETHER OR NOT THIS OPERATION IS INSURED, WHAT THE POLICY LIMITS ARE, AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY CAN DELIVER NARCOTICS WITH DRONES.

YEAH. GOOD QUESTION. AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER THE LAST QUESTION.

THAT MAY BE UP TO THE LAST QUESTION. SORRY. SO CAN YOU REPEAT THE LAST QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN DELIVER NARCOTICS WITH THESE DRONES.

YEP. SO THE SO WE HAVE COMPLIANT WITH ALL OF THE FAA REGULATIONS.

AT THIS TIME WE DO NOT PLAN ON DELIVERING ALCOHOL, TOBACCO OR ANY CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES OF THAT TYPE.

AND THEN IN TERMS OF INSURANCE, WE DO CARRY SPECIFIC UAS INSURANCE.

I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT LIMITS, BUT I COULD GET BACK TO YOU WITH THAT.

CAN YOU SPEAK TO THE RESIDENTS CONCERNS ABOUT.

YEAH, JUST WHAT'S GOING ON? COORDINATION IN GENERAL. YEAH. SO WE HAVE A TEAM OF EXPERTS THAT ARE VERY CLOSELY MONITORING THE SITUATION.

WE UNDERSTAND TYPICALLY AIRPORTS HAVE LARGE KIND OF KEEP OUT ZONES AROUND THEM.

SO DRONES WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ENTER THAT AIRSPACE AT ALL.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE A VERTICAL KIND OF CYLINDER THAT WILL GO UP. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A UNIVERSAL, SORRY, A UTM SYSTEM, WHICH IS A TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, ESSENTIALLY, THAT ALLOWS US TO DECONFLICT IN THE AIRSPACE WITH OTHER DRONES AS WELL.

AND WE POST THINGS SUCH AS NOTAMS, WHICH ARE NOTICES THAT WILL ESSENTIALLY DECLARE THE AREAS WHERE WE WILL BE FLYING.

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO AIRPORTS, WE WON'T COME CLOSE TO THOSE.

GREAT. THANK YOU. CAN IS THERE ANY LIMITATION ON HOURS OF OPERATION FOR THIS? RIGHT NOW, IN THE STORES WE'RE OPERATING IN IT'S DAYLIGHT HOURS.

I'VE SAID 9 TO 5. 9 TO 6, SOMEWHERE LIKE THAT.

I THINK THAT THE OFFICIAL ANSWER, THOUGH, IS DAYLIGHT HOURS.

I THINK IN THE SUMMER HOURS, WE CAN OBVIOUSLY GO A LITTLE LATER.

BUT THAT MEANS WE'LL START A LITTLE LATER. SO, LIKE 930 TO 715, MAYBE.

OKAY. ARE THESE THINGS SUBJECT TO THE FAA'S ANNUAL INSPECTIONS? I'M SORRY. I THOUGHT YOU WERE STILL STANDING THERE. I APOLOGIZE.

ARE THEY SUBJECT TO THE FAA? YOU SAID ANNUAL INSPECTIONS.

YES, ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. WELL, WE COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE FAA SAFETY INSPECTIONS REQUIREMENTS.

OPERATION REQUIREMENTS? WE WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH THEM FOR ALL OF OUR APPROVALS.

WE ARE ESSENTIALLY SIMILAR TO AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER WHERE WE WE FABRICATE OUR AIRCRAFTS, BUT WE ALSO OPERATE THE AIRCRAFT.

SO IT'S ALMOST LIKE WE'RE AN AIRBUS AND A DELTA FOR EXAMPLE.

SO WE WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH THE FAA CONTINUALLY HAND IN HAND.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I WILL MOVE THAT.

WE APPROVE THIS ITEM AS PRESENTED. PUBLIC HEARING.

SAY IT AGAIN. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. FORGIVE ME.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I WILL SECOND. THEN. CAST YOUR VOTES, PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT. WE'VE GOT 3 TO 2 IN FAVOR. MOTION PASSES.

THANK YOU. SORRY. I'M SORRY. ITEM FAILS. YOU HAVE TO HAVE FOUR.

AFFIRMATIVE. OH, YOU HAVE TO HAVE FOUR. YEAH.

OKAY, SO ITEM FAILS. I'M SORRY. ALL RIGHT, NEXT ITEM IS 240125Z.

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request to Rezone the Subject Property from “AG” - Agriculture District to “R12” - Residential District, “C2” - Local Commercial District, and “I1” - Light Industrial District, Located Approximately 900 Feet Northwest of the Intersection of County Road 317 and County Road 325 and on the North Side of County Road 317, and Accompanying Ordinance]

TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER, DISCUSS, ACT ON A REQUEST TO REZONE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM AG AGRICULTURE DISTRICT TO R 12 RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, C TWO LOCAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AND L ONE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 900FT NORTHWEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF COUNTY ROAD 317 AND COUNTY ROAD 325, AND ON THE NORTH SIDE OF COUNTY ROAD 317 AND ACCOMPANYING ORDINANCE.

JENNIFER, THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM JENNIFER ARNOLD AGAIN, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING.

AND AS YOU READ THIS, AS A REQUEST TO REZONE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY TO A MIX OF STRAIGHT ZONING DISTRICTS.

[01:15:06]

AND I'LL GO INTO DETAIL ABOUT THAT HERE IN JUST A MOMENT.

AS YOU READ. OKAY. I'M FINE. THERE'S MY SCREEN.

OKAY. SO THE PROPERTY ITSELF IS ABOUT 100 ACRES IN SIZE.

AND IF YOU SEE THERE ON THE VICINITY MAP, IT IS IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE CITY.

IT IS CURRENTLY ZONED AG AGRICULTURE, AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REZONE IT TO ALLOW FOR A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL, INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES. JUST TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF REFERENCE FOR WHERE THIS SITS IN RELATIONSHIP TO OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

YOU'LL NOTICE HERE, SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE CITY, JUST SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AIRPORT AND THE BUSINESS AND AVIATION DISTRICT OF THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH IS ENVISIONED FOR MORE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES.

THERE IS A SMALL PORTION OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S IN OUR HOMESTEAD DISTRICT, WHICH IS ENVISIONING FOR THAT RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT TO ZOOM IN THERE.

HERE WE GO. SO THIS IS A GREAT EXHIBIT. SO THIS EXHIBIT HERE SHOWS THE SPLIT OF DIFFERENT ZONING DISTRICTS THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING.

IF YOU'LL NOTICE, THE RED AREA IS 44 ACRES. THAT IS WHERE THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO DEVELOP THE RESIDENTIAL USES PURSUANT TO OUR R 12 ZONING DISTRICT, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR LARGE LOTS OR REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF LARGE LOT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

THE PURPLE AREA IS WHERE THEY ARE PROPOSING THE I-1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, AND THAT IS APPROXIMATELY 48 ACRES IN SIZE.

AND THEN THAT SMALL YELLOW COMPONENT THERE ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER IS WHERE THEY'RE PROPOSING ABOUT 8.5 ACRES OF THE C-2 NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL ZONING.

SO GIVEN ITS ALIGNMENT WITH THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS PROPOSED, STAFF IS COMFORTABLE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSIONS, ALSO RECOMMENDING APPROVAL, AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

OUR APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, AND I BELIEVE THEY ALSO HAVE A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION.

IF THE COUNCIL IS INTERESTED IN WATCHING JENNIFER CAN MAYBE THIS IS A QUESTION FOR GARY, BUT CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE ROADWAY ALIGNMENTS THAT COME THROUGH THERE AND THE TIMING OF I GUESS WHEN THAT I'M GOING TO DEFER THAT TO GARY JUST BECAUSE HE'LL HAVE MORE INFO ON THE TIMING COMPONENTS.

GARY GRAHAM DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING. SO COUNCILMAN, YOU'RE REFERRING TO FM 546 AND THE ALIGNMENT, THE TIMING OF THAT. RIGHT NOW, TXDOT AND COLLIN COUNTY ARE THE LEAD AGENCIES WORKING ON THAT DEVELOPMENT OR OF THAT PROJECT.

AND THEY'VE ADVANCED THE PIECE OF 546 EAST OF THE EAST FORK FARTHER THAN THEY HAVE THIS SECTION.

AND SO AT THIS TIME, WE DON'T HAVE A GOOD SCHEDULE OF WHEN THIS PIECE WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED FROM A AND THIS MIGHT BE BACK FOR YOU, BUT FROM A USE STANDPOINT, WOULD LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

I MEAN, FROM AN ACCESS STANDPOINT, THAT WOULD ALMOST HAVE TO BE IN BEFORE YOU COULD PROVIDE THIS USE OR GET ACCESS TO THIS USE BECAUSE WE'RE THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. THERE'S NO OTHER ACCESS POINTS, IS THERE? ABSOLUTELY. SO IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THE ANY OF IT, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, THEY'LL HAVE TO MEET WITH THE CITY AND MAKE SURE THAT ALL NECESSARY ROADWAY UTILITY WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IS IN PLACE TO SERVE WHATEVER DEVELOPMENT COMES.

AND THAT WOULD TYPICALLY HAPPEN, OF COURSE, AT THE SITE PLANNING STAGE.

I'LL LET THE APPLICANT TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT THEIR TIMING HORIZON LOOKS LIKE AND HOW THAT PLAYS INTO IT.

BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, AT THIS POINT, WE'RE TALKING JUST ABOUT THE ENTITLEMENTS FOR THE USE WHEN THE TIMING AND WHAT WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR SERVICE IN TERMS OF INFRASTRUCTURE.

PROBABLY A COUPLE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD AND IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, I KNOW WE.

WE'VE I GUESS I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DID WITH THE ADDITION OF SPUR 399 HERE, BUT THE REALIGNMENT OF 546, DO WE SEE THAT AS KIND OF THE CUTOFF POINT FOR.

THAT'S CORRECT. AND IF YOU'LL SO IF YOU'LL GO IF I GO BACK TO THIS ONE, YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THIS EXHIBIT, I DON'T KNOW IF THE ANNOTATION IS WORKING IMPRESSED.

BUT RIGHT HERE THAT'S THAT ROADWAY UP HERE IS THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

AND DOWN HERE IS THAT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

AND HERE'S THE COMMERCIAL. DO WE ENVISION THAT KIND OF ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE SOUTHEAST PART OF OUR CITY LIKE THAT? ANYTHING NORTH OF 546 IS LIKELY GOING TO BE IN THAT INDUSTRIAL AVIATION.

THAT IS CORRECT. SOUTH IS AS RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL.

THAT'S CORRECT. AND I'LL ZOOM OUT HERE. SO THIS IS OUR LAND USE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

AND YOU CAN SEE MAYBE WHITE WILL WORK. SO THIS ENTIRE SORT OF TRIANGLE IS THE BUSINESS AND AVIATION THAT THAT IS WHERE WE EXPECT THE ROAD TO COME THROUGH.

IT CUTS IT OFF. AND DOWN HERE IS THE MORE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL STUFF.

[01:20:05]

OKAY. OKAY. THE APPLICANT HERE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. WHAT'S THAT? I'M SORRY. OH, THERE HE IS.

OKAY. GOT IT. IF YOU CAN STATE YOUR NAME FOR US, PLEASE.

YES, MA'AM. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR PRO TEM COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS RYAN JOYCE WITH MICHAEL JOYCE PROPERTIES.

767 JUSTIN ROAD, ROCKWALL, TEXAS, 75087. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING.

I'LL TRY TO KEEP THIS SHORT. I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE HAD A LONG AGENDA THIS EVENING ALREADY, SO I WANTED TO START OFF.

I WANTED TO START OFF JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A BACKGROUND BEHIND MICHAEL JOYCE PROPERTIES.

MICHAEL IS MY FIRST NAME, SO IT IS MY COMPANY.

I AM VERY FORTUNATE TO WORK WITH MY WIFE ON A DAILY BASIS.

SHE IS OUR DIRECTOR OF CONSTRUCTION, AND THEN WE HAVE A SMALL OFFICE LOCATED IN ROCKWALL WHERE WE LIVE.

LUCKILY, MY COMMUTE TO WORK IS ONLY ABOUT SIX MINUTES, WHICH IS GREAT ON ONE SIDE THAT I CAN GET TO AND FROM WORK REALLY QUICKLY.

REALLY BAD IF YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO PODCASTS, BECAUSE I CAN'T REALLY GET INTO ANYTHING IN SIX MINUTES.

THESE ARE OUR CORE VALUES FOR OUR COMPANY. INTEGRITY, PEOPLE, FAITH AND FAMILY.

INTEGRITY IS PARAMOUNT IN EVERY DECISION THAT WE MAKE.

PEOPLE WE VALUE, PEOPLE WE VALUE THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT WE HAVE, NOT ONLY WITH CITY COUNCILS, BUT ALSO WITH CITY STAFF, CITY INSPECTORS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO OUR CONTRACTORS.

THE WHOLE REASON THAT WE STARTED OUR COMPANY IS BECAUSE OF OUR FAMILY.

WE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO BE THERE FOR OUR KIDS ON A DAILY BASIS AND BE ABLE TO SLIDE OVER TO SCHOOL EVENTS AND JUST WORK RIGHT THERE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT.

AND THEN OUR CHRISTIAN BELIEFS AND OUR FAITH REALLY LEAD EVERY DECISION THAT WE DO.

I WANTED TO KIND OF SHOW YOU A COUPLE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE WORKED ON IN THE PAST.

SO THE PROJECT ON THE LEFT OF YOUR SCREEN, THIS IS RIGHT OFF OF SILVERADO PARKWAY.

THIS IS CALLED THE ROW. WE WERE THE PROJECT MANAGERS FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.

A VERY UNIQUE TOWNHOME PROJECT, BUT IT IS LOCATED HERE WITHIN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY.

SO WE DO HAVE A HISTORY OF WORKING HERE IN THE CITY.

THE PROJECT ON YOUR RIGHT IS A LITTLE BIT LARGER PROJECT.

IT'S 198 HOME COMMUNITY LOCATED IN ROCKWALL CALLED THE TERRACES, WITH VARYING LOT SIZES THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING. I THINK THE CITY STAFF DID A GREAT JOB OF KIND OF RUNNING THROUGH THIS.

I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO KIND OF REITERATE, BUT I DID JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THIS DOES CONFORM TO THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

WE DIDN'T WANT TO DEVIATE FROM THAT VERY MUCH.

SO WITH THE FUTURE ALIGNMENT OF 546. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION OVER HERE, MR. BELLER, EVERYTHING ON THE NORTH SIDE, THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, WE UNDERSTAND THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION TO, TO TAKE PLACE. SO THIS IS JUST TO KIND OF GET THAT ZONING IN PLACE FOLLOWING THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

AS FAR AS TIME FRAME GOES, I MEAN, WE KIND OF UNDERSTAND THAT THAT RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION SHOULD HAPPEN SOMETIME LATE 26 OR EARLY 27, WITH THE ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION TO FOLLOW SOME SOME TIME AFTER THAT.

SO THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL PORTION OF THIS PROJECT PROBABLY WON'T TAKE PLACE UNTIL SOMETIME IN 2029 OR 2030.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A LITTLE PREMATURE, BUT FROM A LAYOUT STANDPOINT, ALL OF THESE LOTS HERE IS KIND OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING. WE STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT SITE PLAN PROCESS AND MEETING WITH CITY STAFF AND CITY ENGINEERING.

WE DO ANTICIPATE ONCE THIS PROJECT IS ACTUALLY COMPLETED AND HOMES ARE BUILT PROBABLY WILL FOLLOW ALONG WITH THE TIME FRAME FOR WHEN THAT ROADWAY IS CONSTRUCTED. SO THAT'S KIND OF OUR LONG TERM, LONG TERM LOOK THERE.

AS FAR AS POTENTIAL BUILDERS. SO WE HAVE CONTRACTED WITH A COUPLE OF BUILDERS OUT HERE.

SO PERRY HOMES IS ONE OF OUR BUILDING PARTNERS WITHIN THIS DEVELOPMENT.

THESE ARE JUST A SAMPLE OF SOME OF THE HOMES THAT THEY ARE PROPOSING FOR THIS SITE WITH THE SALES PRICE AND KIND OF WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT 1.7 TO $2.2 MILLION.

AND THEN OUR OTHER BUILDING PARTNER IS SHATTUCK HOMES.

AND THEY HAVE A SIMILAR PRICE POINT ON KIND OF WHERE THEY'RE AT.

BUT YOU CAN SEE KIND OF THE VALUE AND THE QUALITY OF MATERIALS THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO UTILIZE WITHIN THIS, WITHIN THIS PROJECT. THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR YOU THIS EVENING.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS MAY HAVE. AND AGAIN, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING AND THE ABILITY TO SPEAK BEFORE YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT.

NO, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR EMPRESS, THOUGH, SO IF I TOUCH THIS SCREEN AS EVERYBODY OUT, THEY'RE GOING TO SEE MARKS ON IT.

AND AM I ALLOWED TO SCROLL BACK AND FORTH TO SEE THE OTHER PICTURES? I HAVE TO ASK YOU, CAN YOU TAKE ME BACK TO THE SITE PLAN? OKAY. YOU GOT IT. BUT BACK TOWARDS THE BEGINNING.

[01:25:04]

OF MY PRESENTATION OR CITY STAFF, I WAS LOOKING AT THE OVERALL SITE PLAN.

OKAY. I BELIEVE THAT WAS ON CITY STAFF PRESENTATION.

OKAY. THANK YOU. DID YOU WANT IT? YES, PLEASE.

CAN YOU LOAD THAT ONE FOR US? MY CONCERN IS THAT BEING AN INDUSTRIAL AREA, PUTTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL OUT THERE. SO IN FOLLOWING THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, EVERYTHING ON THE NORTH SIDE OF FM 546.

THE FUTURE EXPANSION PER PER THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

EVERYTHING ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THAT ROADWAY IS SLATED TO BE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

ON THE SOUTH OF THAT ROAD ARE SLATED TO BE THE R 12 RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.

AND I BELIEVE THERE THAT ONE SHOWS A REALLY GOOD PICTURE OF IT THERE, WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE.

IF YOU WOULD GO BACK TO PAGE FIVE, WHAT IS THE NORTH SOUTH ROAD.

THAT'S RIGHT THERE, I CAN'T READ IT ON MY SCREEN.

SO THAT IS A THAT IS A ROADWAY THAT'S SHOWN ON THE FUTURE THOROUGHFARE PLAN FOR THE CITY.

IT IS, I BELIEVE, A FOUR LANE OR A SIX LANE DIVIDED ROADWAY THAT RUNS NORTH AND SOUTH AND TIES INTO FM 546 THERE.

SO PAGE FIVE, PAGE FIVE. YES, MA'AM. SO YOU CAN SEE HERE MR..

MR. PHILLIPS, THE THAT WHITE LINE THERE IS FM 546.

AND THEN THE RED AREA ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THAT.

THAT'S THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AREA THAT CITY STAFF WAS REFERRING TO.

AND THEN THE TAN AREA ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THAT IS THE SINGLE FAMILY AREA.

THIS LITTLE LOOP UP HERE IN THE LIGHT BROWN, I WOULD CALL IT IS THAT THE CURRENT 546? YES, SIR. THAT IS THE CURRENT CURRENT ALIGNMENT OF 546.

SO MY CONCERN IS THAT MY FRIENDS FROM CORNERSTONE RANCH LIVE JUST DOWN THE STREET FROM YOU, AND ALL THAT PROPERTY IS INDUSTRIAL OR HEADED THAT WAY? YES, SIR. YOU FOLLOW WHAT I'M SAYING? YES, SIR. ABSOLUTELY. YEAH, THEY'RE THEY'RE JUST TO OUR NORTHWEST.

AND SO THEY ARE IN THAT LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AREA, BUT THEY ARE JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF US.

WELL, I APPRECIATE YOU OFFERING TO BUILD SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN MCKINNEY.

YES, SIR. BUT I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE AREA.

AND IS THAT ITS HIGHEST AND BEST USE? WE SEE IT AS A VERY GOOD USE FOR THE AREA ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF 546, JUST BECAUSE OF ITS PROXIMITY TO THE AIRPORT AND THE FUTURE GROWTH OF THE AREA SURROUNDING THE AIRPORT.

I THINK TO HAVE A DELINEATION 546 IS SLATED TO BE A SIX LANE DIVIDED ROADWAY.

SO THAT'S A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT DIVIDER BETWEEN THE TWO TYPES OF USES, IN ADDITION TO SOME MEETING THE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS AND THE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS THERE ON THE ROADWAY AS WELL.

SO YOU'LL HAVE A FAIRLY GOOD AMOUNT OF DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO USES.

ALSO, IT'S LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. SO IT'S NOT HEAVY HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

MORE LIKE A WAREHOUSE FACILITIES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SO AND THAT WILL HAVE TO COME BACK BEFORE YOU GUYS AS A FUTURE SITE PLAN APPROVAL.

SO YOU'LL YOU'LL STILL HAVE OVERSIGHT INTO WHAT GOES THERE AND 5 OR 6 YEARS.

I LIKE YOUR VALUES AND I'LL LET YOU DO IT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO.

ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE. I APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR COUNSEL? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THIS ITEM.

I'LL SECOND. OKAY. CAST YOUR VOTES.

OKAY. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FACILITY.

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Specific Use Permit to Allow a Stealth Telecommunication Structure, Located on the South Side of the Intersection of Stars Avenue and Wellness Way, and Accompanying Ordinance]

ITEM 240005. FIVE. SUP. TWO. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER.

DISCUSS. ACT ON A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A STEALTH TELECOMMUNICATION STRUCTURE LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION OF STARS AVENUE AND WELLNESS WAY AND ACCOMPANYING ORDINANCE. THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM JENNIFER ARNOLD.

AGAIN, AS YOU READ, THIS IS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT SUP REQUEST TO ALLOW FOR A CELL TOWER OVER OFF OF STARS AVENUE AND WELLNESS WAY.

REMEMBER BACK TO A COUPLE OF MEETINGS AGO WHEN MICHAEL QUINT WAS PRESENTING OVER CELL TOWERS IN THIS AREA OF MCKINNEY? THIS IS ONE OF THE ONES HE MENTIONED TO YOU ALL THAT HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS, AND WE ARE EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT IT TONIGHT FOR APPROVAL ON THAT.

[01:30:06]

SUP. SO THE REASON IT IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS FOR THE SUP FOR TWO MAIN REASONS.

ONE IS THE BUILDING OR THE PROPOSED TOWER. HEIGHT OF 110FT EXCEEDS THE OTHERWISE ALLOWED BUILDING HEIGHTS.

AND SO THE SUP IS REQUIRED TO CONSIDER THAT INCREASE.

AND THE OTHER REASON IT IS BEFORE YOU IS BECAUSE OF THE REQUIRED SETBACKS.

TYPICALLY, A CELL TOWERS ARE REQUIRED TO BE SET BACK FROM A PROPERTY LINE EQUIDISTANT TO THE HEIGHT.

SO IF IT'S 110FT IN HEIGHT, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SET BACK 110FT FROM THE PROPERTY LINE.

HOWEVER, THIS PARTICULAR CELL TOWER DOESN'T MEET THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR THOSE SETBACKS.

IT IS A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO THE PROPERTY LINES AND AROUND THE 90FT TO 75FT RANGE, WHICH IS WHY IT'S BEFORE YOU.

THAT BEING SAID, STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE REQUEST.

WE'VE REVIEWED THE PROPAGATION MAPS. WE DO FEEL LIKE THE CELL TOWER IN THIS LOCATION WILL SERVE A GREATER NEED, AND THE LOCATION ON THE PROPERTY IS TUCKED BY THE FLOODPLAIN.

IT IS FAR AWAY FROM THE RIGHT OF WAYS. SO WHILE IT'S NOT MEETING THE STRICT APPLICATION OF THE PROPERTY LINE DISTANCE, IT IS SET BACK AS FAR BACK AS IT CAN GO ON THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY.

THAT BEING SAID, STAFF'S RECOMMENDING APPROVAL BE AND IS CONSIDERED THE ITEM.

THEY'RE ALSO RECOMMENDING APPROVAL AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? I THINK OUR APPLICANTS HERE. OH, APPLICANT.

COME ON UP, PLEASE. IF YOU DON'T MIND, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR US.

MY NAME IS RAY ROMAN, AND I'M WITH ANTHEM. NET 51, 51 HEADQUARTERS DRIVE, PLANO, TEXAS.

AND GREAT FACILITY. AWESOME. AND I FOLLOWING THE STEPS OF MR. SANCHEZ. I'M YOUR FIRST OKLAHOMAN TO STAND BEFORE YOU.

ALL RIGHT, RAY, I'M GRATEFUL YOU'RE BRINGING THIS TO US. YOU AND I VISITED A LITTLE BIT AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING. AS FAR, THIS IS MY COUNCIL DISTRICT. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

WE DO NOT HAVE ADEQUATE CELL SERVICE HERE IN OUR DISTRICT.

YOU HAVE ALL THE MAIN CARRIERS THAT ARE GOING TO BE CARRIED ON THIS THING.

AT THE OTHER TOWER THAT WE HAVE GOING UP NEAR TPC, WE ONLY HAVE AT&T.

AND I GET COMPLAINTS ALL THE TIME FROM PEOPLE WITH VERIZON AND T-MOBILE.

I HAD ONE WOMAN IN CALIFORNIA WHO WAS THE ONLY CHILD, AND HER PARENTS LIVE IN THIS DISTRICT, AND THEY HAVE A MONITOR ON HER DAD THAT RELIES ON CELL SERVICE, AND THERE'S NOT ENOUGH CELL SERVICE TO RELIABLY USE THE MONITOR.

AND SHE'S IN ORANGE COUNTY. SO THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE.

ON TOP OF THAT, THE CITY WILL BE GETTING ABOUT $1,600 A MONTH LEASE PAYMENT.

WE'RE GETTING NOTHING ON IT RIGHT NOW. SO I THINK THIS IS NOTHING BUT A WIN FOR OUR CITY.

AND I'M GRATEFUL THAT YOU'RE HERE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO BUILD THIS FACILITY.

CELL COVERAGE NOWADAYS IS SO IMPORTANT FOR EVERYTHING FROM, LIKE YOU SAID, MEDICAL MONITORING TO JUST EMERGENCIES.

YOU KNOW ESPECIALLY PEOPLE THAT IF YOU HAVE A YOUNG, A NEW DRIVER AND SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THEY DON'T HAVE COVERAGE AND THEY NEED IT BAD.

THIS IS GOING TO HELP. IT'S GOING TO HELP A LOT.

MY ONLY REQUEST IS BUILD MORE. BUILD MORE. YOU KNOW WHAT? I WILL MOST DEFINITELY. WE ARE DEFINITELY INTERESTED IN GROWING OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY AND LOOKING AT PROPERTIES THAT YOU MAY HAVE WHERE WE CAN CONSTRUCT SITES THAT WE'LL GET THROUGH THIS ONE. THEN WE'LL SIT DOWN AND SEE WHAT ELSE WE CAN DO.

AWESOME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? AND IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MADAM MAYOR PRO TEM, I MOVE THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVE THIS ITEM.

I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION. DID YOU DO THAT? RICK DID IT.

OKAY. DO YOU WANT TO TAKE IT BACK? GO AHEAD AND TAKE IT BACK.

CAST YOUR VOTES. ALL RIGHT. MOTION PASSES. NEXT ITEM IS 24005.

I'M SORRY. 2240075 FIVE. Z3. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER, DISCUSS.

[Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request to Rezone the Subject Property from “PD” - Planned Development District to “PD” - Planned Development District, Generally to allow for Multi-Family Residential, Single-Family Residential, and Commercial Uses, and to Modify the Development Standards, Located on the Southeast and Southwest corner of Custer Road and FM 1461, and Accompanying Ordinance]

ACT ON A REQUEST TO REZONE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT GENERALLY TO ALLOW FOR MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES AND TO MODIFY THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST AND SOUTHWEST CORNERS OF CUSTER ROAD AND FM 1461 AND ACCOMPANYING ORDINANCE.

THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM JENNIFER ARNOLD. AGAIN, THIS IS A REQUEST TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 124 ACRES THERE, LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHEAST CORNER OF CUSTER ROAD AND FM 1461.

THE LOCATION MAP IS THERE ON YOUR SCREEN. AS WE DIG INTO THIS ONE, I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THE CURRENT ZONING ALLOWS AND WHAT THE APPLICANT IS

[01:35:06]

PROPOSING TO MODIFY TO. SO THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

AND UNDER THAT CURRENT ZONING SEE HERE I'VE GOT THE EXHIBIT UNDER THAT CURRENT ZONING.

IT ALLOWS ALREADY FOR A MIX OF COMMERCIAL AND SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES.

SO ON YOUR SCREEN YOU DO SEE ALL THE AREAS THERE IN RED ALLOW FOR COMMERCIAL USES, AND THE DIFFERENT SHADES OF YELLOW ALLOW FOR A MIX OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES AT LOW AND MEDIUM DENSITIES.

WITH THE REQUEST, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO MODIFY SOME OF THE LIMITS FOR WHERE THE COMMERCIAL USES ARE ALLOWED, AND THEN INTRODUCE MULTIFAMILY ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.

SO THE NEXT IMAGE THAT I'VE GOT UP HERE IS THE PROPOSED BUBBLE PLAN FOR THE ZONING.

THAT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. SO ANYTHING THAT IS IN RED WOULD STILL BE FOR COMMERCIAL USES.
